Yes because repubs don't make shit up about dems all the time.

He's exactly as crazy as you would expect knowing the losers who support him, lol. He's like Allen West-lite.

For a neurosurgeon his argument against obamacare is so embarrassing. It's an argument you'd get from JDouche. Just pure ideological, anti-govt crap. Embarrassing

Here's some doozies from Dr. Loon, lol. Now you can see why these clowns like him.

2. “I mean, [America is] very much like Nazi Germany. And I know you’re not supposed to say ‘Nazi Germany,’ but I don’t care about political correctness. You know, you had a government using its tools to intimidate the population. We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they actually believe.”
~Ben Carson, telling Breitbart News how America is like Nazi Germany because of liberals, March 2014.


3. “ObamaCare is the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. In a way, it is slavery, because it is making all of us subservient to the government.”
~Ben Carson, comparing healthcare to slavery during the Values Voter Summit, October 2013.


4. “Because 9/11 is an isolated incident. Things that are isolated issues as opposed to things that fundamentally change the United Sates of America and shift power from the people to the government. That is a huge shift. You have to take a long-term look at something that fundamentally changes the power structure of America.”
~Ben Carson, claiming ObamaCare is worse than the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed 3,000 Americans, June 2014.

6. “My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society, and no group — be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality — it doesn’t matter what they are — they don’t get to change the definition.”
~Ben Carson, comparing same-sex marriage to bestiality and pedophilia, April 2013.

I see points 2, 3, 4 and 6, where are points 1 and 5?

Let me guess, they don’t fit your narrative?

Highly doubt he runs and if he does he won't really go hard after raising money.

Probably just running to get a piece of the cottage industry that comes after making some primary noise.

It is gonna be Jeb/Walker/Christie/Rand

I'm probably on an island in this thought but I'd like to see Donald Trump run. I think the debates would be great if he were a part of them, probably the highest rated primary debates ever.

Haha, actually it was cause I'm on my phone and the site had annoying adds between quotes so I left them out because it's annoying to copy and paste. But they are just as dumb since you bring it up.

1. “There comes a time when people with values simply have to stand up. Think about Nazi Germany. Most of those people did not believe in what Hitler was doing. But did they speak up? Did they stand up for what they believe in? They did not, and you saw what happened.”
~Ben Carson, comparing Democrats to Nazis, January 2014.

5. “I think what’s happening with the veterans is a gift from God to show us what happens when you take layers and layers of bureaucracy and place them between the patients and the health care provider. And if we can’t get it right, with the relatively small number of veterans, how in the world are you going to do it with the entire population?”
~Ben Carson, thanking God for dead soldiers in an attack on ObamaCare amid the Veteran’s Affairs military healthcare scandal in which veterans died waiting for medical care, Memorial Day Weekend 2014.

My guess is he'll ruffle some feathers and give some hot takes then go quietly and the big boys will hash it out.

Scott Walker been preparing to run for president since he was like 14, he'll ruin this guy in a debate if he needs to.

Carson and Cruz remind me of West and Palin. They'll be in the media because their crazy statements and get a lot of financial gain from the extremist conservatives but aren't going to be electable at all. I like Christie and Rand Paul, although I wish mitt was running again. I really don't want Hillary. 2016 gonna be tough.

I can't imagine Christie debating Hilary and being able to comeoff positive. Imagine some big fat loud dude talking over a 70 year old woman on stage? That is really a no win situation for him. He might as well just Ray Rice her in the eyes of women everywhere.

That would just be a bizarre scene. Two unique candidates, albiet for different reasons.

No need to bash the guy, he's not in the top tier of candidates. He has a sound mind as evidenced by his accomplishments an would be an asset as a cabinet member in a republican administration

Talk about twisting and misinterpreting a guy's words. Those little editorial comments are gross misinterpretation of Dr Ben's intent.

I vote for the person based on who they are and what they stand for, not what party they belong to.

Still would get my vote if he decides to run, unless he does something awful between then.

Plenty of people are accomplished that have horrible thoughts and get bashed. I like how the Repubs hold him on a pedestal because he's one of the very few highly educated people in the world that has crazy conservative thoughts.

I never said he'd be a good Republican standard bearer & I'm certainly not voting for him in the Republican upcoming primary. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development & especially Secretary of Education would all be good cabinet posts for such an accomplished man. Now I doubt you'll agree but he'd be 100X better than Arne Duncan, Julián Castro or
Sylvia Mathews Burwell who currently hold those posts. I can say that without any fear of RESPONSIBLE contradiction.

Not necessarily. There are Obama Dems that won't vote for Hillary. There are Obama Independents that won't vote for Hillary. I am far from the only one. Hillary does not stir up any passion. Ben can get our vote, but he has to lay off the crazy talk when he's not in front of crazy people. I get he has to court the crazies when he's in front of them, so I'm not as down on some of his nutty statements when he's on Fox, or at CPAC as my compatriots, but he can't run a legit campaign to normal Americans by spouting off that kind of crazy. We'll see how it goes with him. I'm still interested, but he's going to have to appear more in front of normal interviewers, not the Hannity types, step more out of the echo chamber, and come off looking sane, and not a sick, scary individual to normal people, like Cruz.
